These Zucchini Cupcakes<\/strong> are moist, light, and fluffy! You can eat them plain, add a sprinkling of powdered sugar, or top them with cream cheese frosting. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

🧁 Zucchini Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem:<\/strong> homemade cupcakes are prone to drying out after a day or two, leaving all of us cupcake lovers<\/a> sadly eating crumbly, dry cupcakes. The solution:<\/strong> pack those cupcakes with ZUCCHINI, bay-bee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zucchini is the ultimate “moist-maker” (shoutout to Friends<\/em> for that reference) when it comes to baked goods. No more choking down dry cupcakes while a single solitary tear runs down your cheek–the natural moisture from this shredded vegetable produces a supremely soft and tender cupcake, with staying power for DAYS. Top them off with my Lime Cream Cheese Frosting<\/a> and a sprinkling of crushed pistachios to make the perfect treat. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

🍞 Turn Zucchini Cupcakes into Bread<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One more bonus to this recipe: it also makes an awesome loaf of zucchini bread! Yep, this exact same recipe can be baked in a 2lb bread pan, to make the most delicious zucchini bread you’ve ever had. Find the full instructions in my Easy Zucchini Bread<\/a> post, try it both ways, and then tell me which way you prefer to have your zucchini! (Hint: eating it plain is not an option<\/em> \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
